Aroma is extremely yeasty, with a hint of malt. Appropriately large, fluffy head and vigorous carbonation. Pleasant medium golden color. Slight sedimentation, but the brew remains relatively clear. Interesting orangey, malty taste, followed by some slightly astringent hop flavors. Aftertaste is citrusy. Fruitiness is quite evident. Good.

Good, but far from great. A standard Belgian Tripel in the outline of many others. A bit spicy, with dark fruit notions. The 8.5% is well represented with slight esophageal burn, a highlight. Worth a try, yet not the best Tripel. Good bargain though, I should add; Great value at $5.99 for a 750ml.

Bottle. A fruity, yeasty golden blond tripel with a sweet/sour taste, slight alcohol bitter finish. More than average carbonation.

golden orange body with a very frothy white head that sticks around for a while. Smells of fruit and yeast with a hint of nuttyness. Bitter at first, but then sweet and citrus takes over, definite overtones of yeast and alcohol. Overall an above average abbey, just nothing outstanding
